Artist statement
I aim for the "forest" that I create to become a process rather than a result of thinking. The reason for this is that it is the artist's job to thoroughly think about what is considered meaningless and what cannot be helped, and to shape the process. A work that resembles a constant activity in which trees grow and expand, sometimes return to the soil, and are born again. It also seems to be interacting with the people who created things like prayer long before the words Art and Craft were born.
That prayer may be a terribly inefficient act, but now that we are receiving more and more immediate information every day, I want continue to create a "forest" where you can touch and confirm the existence of things.
